Étang du Grand Rozot is a scenic 18-hectare gravel pit in the Vosges offering pike and perch on the bank, though it's primarily stocked with trout rather than carp. Day fishing only (1st Category water), so plan for daytime sessions around 260 miles from Calais—a worthwhile detour if you're combining pike work with trout exploration. You'll need a French fishing licence and AAPPMA permit from the local Vosges association; contact them in advance as this smaller venue isn't typical UK carp water.

Vosges night carp is only permitted on: Lac de Bouzey (specific section), Étang fédéral n°2 de Châtel-sur-Moselle (350m), and river sections of the Moselle and Madon.
